Asian+Party+Decor


 * So you wanna throw an Asian themed party. You have the food. You have the people. WAIT! You don't have the atmosphere! All parties must have the proper decor. I chose to spice up all our lives by making my own Chinese lanterns. Its a very easy and fun process that almost anyone can do.

Supplies: Construction paper Tape Chopsticks/ Popsicle sticks And possibly crayons/ markers/ and or paints

1) Decorate the construction paper if you wish. I personaly used water color paints and made little designs all about the lantern.

2)Fold the paper into 1/4ths.

3) At every folded crease, place a chopstick and tape it down.

4) Fold one end of the paper to the other and tape together.

5) Puncture small hole through 2 sides of the top and place a string through it and tie together.

6) And there you have it my friends. Your very own paper lantern! || ||

__**Directions:**__ 1.)burn the edges of the long sheet of paper to add a worn- effect. 2.)roll the ends of the paper onto two sticks. 3)use some hot glue to make the paper stay in tact with the branches. 4)take a yellowish color craypod to also add an older look to the paper. 5)Next, find the symbol you would like to draw and then draw it with a black or brown colored pencil. 6)once you copy the symbol onto the paper, add the meaning of it at the bottom.

there ya have it, that's how to make a Chinese scroll. ||
